xfs: store xfs_mount in the buftarg instead of in the xfs_buf
Each buffer contains both a buftarg pointer and a mount pointer. If
we add a mount pointer into the buftarg, we can avoid needing the

needed instead. This shrinks the xfs_buf by 8 bytes.

xfs: don't use vfs writeback for pure metadata modifications
Under heavy multi-way parallel create workloads, the VFS struggles
to write back all the inodes that have been changed in age order.
The bdi flusher thread becomes CPU bound, spending 85% of it's time
in the VFS code, mostly traversing the superblock dirty inode list
to separate dirty inodes old enough to flush.
We already keep an index of all metadata changes in age order - in
the AIL - and continued log pressure will do age ordered writeback
without any extra overhead at all. If there is no pressure on the
log, the xfssyncd will periodically write back metadata in ascending
disk address offset order so will be very efficient.
Hence we can stop marking VFS inodes dirty during transaction commit
or when changing timestamps during transactions. This will keep the
inodes in the superblock dirty list to those containing data or
unlogged metadata changes.
However, the timstamp changes are slightly more complex than this -
there are a couple of places that do unlogged updates of the
timestamps, and the VFS need to be informed of these. Hence add a
new function xfs_trans_ichgtime() for transactional changes,
and leave xfs_ichgtime() for the non-transactional changes.

The implementation os ->kill_root only differ by either simply
zeroing out the now unused buffer in the btree cursor in the inode
allocation btree or using xfs_btree_setbuf in the allocation btree.
Initially both of them used xfs_btree_setbuf, but the use in the
ialloc btree was removed early on because it interacted badly with
xfs_trans_binval.
In addition to zeroing out the buffer in the cursor xfs_btree_setbuf
updates the bc_ra array in the btree cursor, and calls
xfs_trans_brelse on the buffer previous occupying the slot.
The bc_ra update should be done for the alloc btree updated too,
although the lack of it does not cause serious problems. The
xfs_trans_brelse call on the other hand is effectively a no-op in
the end - it keeps decrementing the bli_recur refcount until it hits
zero, and then just skips out because the buffer will always be
dirty at this point. So removing it for the allocation btree is
just fine.
So unify the code and move it to xfs_btree.c. While we're at it
also replace the call to xfs_btree_setbuf with a NULL bp argument in
xfs_btree_del_cursor with a direct call to xfs_trans_brelse given
that the cursor is beeing freed just after this and the state
updates are superflous. After this xfs_btree_setbuf is only used
with a non-NULL bp argument and can thus be simplified.

ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page
Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.
Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.
This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.
When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).
There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.
The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:
Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.
This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

b44: fix carrier detection on bind
For carrier detection to work properly when binding the driver with a cable
unplugged, netif_carrier_off() should be called after register_netdev(),
not before.

Before that commit, register_active_regions() is called for every SRAT memory
entry right away.
Use nodememblk_range[] instead of nodes[] in order to make sure we
capture the actual memory blocks registered with each node. nodes[]
contains an extended range which spans all memory regions associated
with a node, but that does not mean that all the memory in between are
included.

net: clear heap allocations for privileged ethtool actions
Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions),
the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace.
Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

x86, AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order
This fixes possible cases of not collecting valid error info in
the MCE error thresholding groups on F10h hardware.
The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the
Valid bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0 - DRAM
thresholding group) in its first iteration and breaking out if
the bit is cleared.
But (!), this MSR contains an offset value, BlkPtr[31:24], which
points to the remaining MSRs in this thresholding group which
might contain valid information too. But if we bail out only
after we checked the valid bit in the first MSR and not the
block pointer too, we miss that other information.
The thing is, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on
MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked
prior to iterating over the MCI_MISCj thresholding group,
irrespective of the MC4_MISC0[Valid] setting.

The rcvmsg struct comes from the memcpy_fromio() in receivemessage().
I guess that means it's data off the wire. I'm not very familiar with
this code but I don't see any reason to assume these strings are NULL

Also it's weird that "dn" in a 50 character buffer but we only seem to
use 32 characters. In drivers/isdn/sc/scioc.h, "dn" is only a 49
